Sunday Quote: It’s like this

Life could be limitless joy if we would only take it for what it is, in the way it is given to us.

Tolstoy

Sunday Quote: Fully present

Experiencing,

rather than trying to have special experiences,

is where real freedom lies

Ezra Bayda, At Home in the Muddy Water

God comes to you disguised as your life.

Sunday Quote: Our highest art


To affect the quality of the day,

that is the highest of arts.

Thoreau

Feeling created

So I read….Armenians, I read, salt their newborn babies. I check somewhere else: so did the Jews at the time of the prophets. They washed a baby in water, salted him, and wrapped him in cloths. When God promised to Aaron and all the Levites all the offerings Israel made to God, the firstfruits and the firstling livestock, “all the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine,” he said of this promise, “It is a covenant of salt forever.” In the Roman church baptism, the priest places salt in the infant’s mouth.


I salt my breakfast eggs. All day long I feel created.

Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm

Sunday Quote: In front of you

What saves a person is to take a step.

Then another step.

C.S. Lewis
